First, I am using Snow Lep but not sure witch one just got a new MBP. Also I am using 1.5Beta didn't see the option to choose that. I have checked the 1.5 Beta forum but didn't find the answer.

When my mac is not connected to the ns7 all the tracks turn yellow as soon as it starts playing. When it is connected to the ns7; while playing and mixing they stay white, if I play tracks and let them finish all the way while "cont" is checked the tracks turn yellow. How do I get them to turn yellow while mixing and not playing the whole song?

Thanks!

Sean.

Hi Sean.

The played state of a track follows a formula.

Only the tracks you actually play are listed in history and change colour.
This is done using an A-B algorithm, meaning a track on deck A is only changed to played once the track on deck B has been changed or ejected.

In offline player it will just be marked as played.

Thanks, got the problem identified. Had some desktop speakers hooked to my headphone output so I was playing in preview the whole time. Once I got set up for my gig lastnight everything was fine. Thanks!
